Alongside De Niro it boasts a stellar cast including Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, Bill Camp, Dan Stevens and Matthew Modine. Viewers couldn't wait to share their reviews on Google awarding it an overall 4 out of 5 stars. "Definitely a must watch.
Nothing about this series is slow or boring. The plot is excellent and keeps us hooked till the end. No words can describe Robert De Niro, his powerful performance in every scene is the glue holding up this entire series," one raved.
"I loved Netflix ’s Zero Day series —gripping, intelligent, and incredibly relevant. From start to finish, the series keeps you on the edge of your seat with its intricate storytelling, high-stakes drama, and razor-sharp political intrigue. Robert De Niro delivers a powerhouse performance, proving once again why he’s one of the greatest actors of our time.
.. Zero Day is not just a thriller—it’s a thought-provoking, timely narrative that keeps you thinking long after the credits roll," a second wrote.
"I thoroughly enjoyed Zero Day, so much so that I am in the process of watching the series for a second time. The show requires focus and intelligence, and I am afraid if you are lacking in either, you will not be able to fully appreciate the show..
..Zero Day is a first class political thriller, and I highly recommend the series.
Robert De Niro’s performance was nothing short of stellar," a third chimed in. A fourth pondered: "I haven’t read any other reviews, so maybe I’m missing a lot, but I think that this series has it all. A great script, premise, terrific, casting and acting, wonderful dialogue and an almost believable plot.
Lots of relevant and timely bits-a couple of insanely rich bad guys; one arrogant techie wearing a baseball cap, a deeply divided nation, and credible threats of cyber destruction. De Niro is breathtaking. The direction is flawless, the characters are not.
Good job Netflix ." "Zero Day is an amazing show. I was completely absorbed in it.
The cast is incredible, especially Robert De Niro. He's so good as the former President trying to figure out what's going on with this huge cyberattack. The story is really timely and it's crazy how it makes you think about how vulnerable we are to these kinds of threats," a fifth added.
Meanwhile a sixth cheered: "'Zero Day' is a masterfully crafted political thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. With an incredible cast, sharp writing, and a gripping storyline, this miniseries delivers suspense, intrigue, and thought-provoking drama. The performances are outstanding, especially from my boy De Niro, who brings depth and intensity to the role.
Every episode is packed with twists, making it impossible to stop watching. If you love intelligent, high-stakes storytelling, Zero Day is a must-watch!" Oscar winner De Niro has made rare appearances on the small screen but this is his first major TV drama series and he features in almost every scene in the near six-hour production. “It is like doing three features back to back,” he explained.
“I was in most of it. And so I had to keep up with everything, even as simple as knowing the lines. So I likened it to being in the English Channel,” he shared at a preview in London, Variety reported.
